CentreVu CMS Release 3 Version 8 Disk-Mirrored Systems
The olds commands, which you will be using to configure the Solstice
DiskSuite software, obtain information about your disk configuration from
2
the /olds/disk.type file. If your boot disks are not as specified in the Disks
table in Step 2, check the disk.type file to verify that it names the proper
boot disks for your system.
The relevant portion of the disk.type file looks like this:
#arch config
#Enterprise 3000
sun4u notmirrored
sun4u mirrored
The bootdisk1 column designates the first boot disk; the disk2 column
designates the second boot disk in a mirrored configuration. In order for
the olds commands to work, the disks.type file must match your physical
configuration: you must have disks in the locations specified in the file.
1. Set the environment to the Korn Shell by entering these commands:
# stty erase
# ksh -o
2
(where <ctrl-H> indicates you should press and hold the Control key
as you press the H key).
The stty command sets up your backspace key as an actual
backspace. If you do not enter this command, you will have to use
the Delete key as a backspace.
2. Make sure the CMS CD is loaded in the CD-ROM drive.
3. Copy the Solstice DiskSuite setup scripts from the CD to the boot
disk by entering the following commands:
# mkdir /olds
# cp /cdrom/cdrom0/cms/reloc/rdonly/olds_install/* /olds
# cd /olds
# chmod +x /olds/olds
4. Alter your path:
# export PATH=$PATH:/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin:/olds
